Honours. Nov. law-The interest in the
series of serotonin which Dr. Tillman is
describing his recent tour in Palestine and
incubating wastrel lessons suggested by his
theme increases from week to week. There

deter-hood of the convent. ordered n hun—
dred bright cyct! Arab children brought
out to sing for me, and it was glorious!
This morning 1 come out on the steps of
the convent and look upon the most beam

white limestone. Guess its name! Nam—

ity of place» that all Christian travelers

THE VILLAGE OF NAZABE'I’H.
Grand old village Is Nazareth, even put-
ting aside its sacred associntions. First. of
all, it is clean: and that can be said of few
of the oriental villages. its neighboring
town of Nublouf is the filthiest town i'
ever saw git its chief industry is the
manufacture of soap. They export all of
it. Nazareth was perhsps unnsusll y clean
the morning i speak of, for us we rode into
the village the afternoon before the show-
m which had put our msclntoshes to the
test had poured floods through all the
alleys under command of the clouds, those
thorough street commimioncn. Besides
that. Nazareth has been the scene of
bottles passing it from Israelite-to Mo
hammcvlauI and from Mohammedan to
Christian. the most wonderful of the bat.—
tlcs being that in which twentyflve thou-
sand Turks were beaten by twenty-one
hundred French, Napoleon Bonaparte
commanding, that greatest of Frenchmen
walking these very streets through which
Jesus walked for nearly thirty years, the
morals of the two the untipodcs, the
snows of Rttssin and the plagues of Egypt
appropriately following the one, the do:-
nlogics of earth and the hullelujabs of
heaven appropriately following the other.
And fhvn this town is so beautifully situ-
ated in a great green bowl. the sides of the
bowl the surrounding fifteen hills. The
God of untrue who is the God of the Bible
evidently scooped out this valley for pri-
vacy and separation from all the world
during three most important decades, the
thirty years of Christ’s boyhood and
youth, for of the thirty-three years of
Christ's stay on earth he spent thirty of
them in this town in getting ready—~11
startling rebuke to those who have no pn-
tience with the long: years of preparation
nmwll'y when they enter on any special
mission for the church or the world. The
trouble is with most young men that they
wont to launch their ship from the drydoek
before it is ready, and hence so many sink
in the first cyclone. Stay intbe store as u
subordinate until you are thoroughly
equipped, lie n good cmploye in your
irrulc until you are qualified to be an em-
plnyrr. lie content with Noun-lb until
you 1an nIrtIly for the builctingsnf Jerusa—
lem. You may get so gloriously equipped
in tln- thirty years that you can do more in
tlm-c yum than most men can accomplish
in It philonged lifetime. Thee little our;
gt-stiorui I am apt to put into my sermon,
hoping to help people for this world, while
1 our chiefly anxious to have them prepare
for the next world.
WIItr m: (lillls‘f‘ WAS A not".
All Christ-t boyhood was spent in this
villnIze and its surrounding. There ‘s the
wry well called “The Fountain of the Vir—
gin,”lo which by his mother's side he
trotted along holding her bond. No doubt
about it; It in the only well in the village,
and it int-I been the only well for three
thousand years. This morning we visit it,
and the mothers have their children with
them now at then. The work of drawing

waiting for their turn st it, thresgreut

that overlook Nazareth. As for us I under-

sea only once, but any clear morning he
could run up on a hill near Nazareth and
look off to the out and see the Mediter—
ranean, while there in the north is snowy
Mount lebauonmlsd as in white robe of mo-
cension, and yonder on the east and south
east Mount Gilboo, Mount Tabor and
Mount Gilead, and yonder in the south is
the plain of Eeriraelon over which we rode
yesterday on our way to Nazareth. Those
mountains of his boyhood in his memory,
do you wonder that Christ when he wanted
a good pulpit made in out of a mountain——
"seeing the multitudes he went up into
the mountain." And when he wanted es»
pedal communion with God he took James
and John and Peter into ”a mountain

THE OLD NIH. SHOP.
On this December morning in Palestine
on our way out from Bismuth wesswjust
such a csrpcuter‘s shop quus worked in,
mm his widowed mother, sftcr'he
was old enough to do so. I looked in. and
there were hammeraudsaw and plans and
anger ane‘ vice and measuring' rule and
chisel and drill and adso and wrench and
bit and all the tools of csmentry. Think
of it! He who smoothed the surface of the
earth shavings plane; he who cleft the
mountains by earthquake pounding u
chisel; be who opened the mammoth caves
of the earth turning on ringer; be who
wields the thunderbolt striking with a
hammer; llf‘ who scooped out the bed for
the ocean hollowiug s ladle; he who
ilssha the morning on the earth and makes
the midnight heavens quiver with aurora
constructing a window. I cannot under-
stand it, but I believe it. A skeptic said to
an old clergyman, “I will not believe any-
thing I cannot explain.” “Indeed,” said
theclcrgymau, “you will not bellve any—
thing you umnot explain. Please to ex-
plain to me why some cow» imvc horns
and others have no horns. "No," said the
skeptic, “i did not rut-nu exactly that. l
medallist i will not. believe anything I
have not seen." “Indeed,"said the cler-
gyman, "you will not believe anything
you have not seen. Have you a backbone?"
"Yes," said the skeptic. “How do you
know?" said the clergyman. “Have you
ever seen it?" This mystery of Godhead
and humanity inter-joined i cannot. under-
stand and I cannot explain, but I believe
it. i am glad there are so many things we
cannot understand. for that leaves some-
thing for heaven. if we knew everything
here heaven would boagroat indolenco.
What foolish people those who are in per-
petual fret Incense they cannot understand
all that God says and dual A child in the
first juvenile primer mightsswell burst
into tears because it cannot understand
conic sections. In this world we are only
in the A B C class, and we cannot now un-
derstand the Finals of eternity which
put to utmost test faculties amhuugelic. I
would be ashamed of heaven if we do not
know more there, with all our families in-
tensified a million fold and at the center of
the universe, than we do here with our
dim faculties and clinging to the outside
rim of the universe.
CANA is GALILEE.
In about two hours we pass through
Carin. the villum of Palestine where the
mother of Christ and our Lord attended
the wedding of I. poor relative, having
come over from Nan-nth for that. purpose.
The mother of Christ—Jar women are first
to notice such things—found that the pro
visions burl fallen short and she told
Christ, and be to relieve the embarrass—
ment of the housekeeper, who had invited
more guests than the pantry warranted.
became the butler of the occasion, and out
of n cluster of It few sympathetic words
squeezed a beverage of n hundred and
twentysix gallons of wine in which was
not one drop of intoxicant, or It would
have left that. party as mudlin and drunk
as the great. centennial banquet in New
York, two years ago, left senators, and
goventors, and generals, and merchant
prince, the difference between the wine
at the wedding in Cans and the wine at
the banquet in New York being, that the
Lord mode the one and the devil made the
other. “Fe got 0!! our horses and examiner!

famous sermon on the Masada—blessed

the horses plunge in molcbills and a sur—

seemed the contradiction of everything
that they had ever heard or read or experi‘
